Climate of High-obliquity Exoterrestrial Planets with a Three-dimensional Cloud System Resolving Climate Model
2022
Overview
Planetary climates are strongly affected by planetary orbital parameters such as obliquity, eccentricity, and precession. In exoplanetary systems, exoterrestrial planets should have various obliquities. High-obliquity planets would have extreme seasonal cycles due to the seasonal change of the distribution of the insolation. Here, we introduce the Non-hydrostatic ICosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM), a global cloud-resolving model, to investigate the climate of high-obliquity planets. This model can explicitly simulate a three-dimensional cloud distribution and vertical transports of water vapor. We simulated exoterrestrial climates with high resolution using the supercomputer FUGAKU. We assumed aqua-planet configurations with 1 bar of air as a background atmosphere, with four different obliquities (0°, 23.5°, 45°, and 60°). We ran two sets of simulations: (1) low resolution (∼220 km mesh as the standard resolution of a general circulation model for exoplanetary science) with parameterization for cloud formation, and (2) high resolution (∼14 km mesh) with an explicit cloud microphysics scheme. Results suggest that high-resolution simulations with an explicit treatment of cloud microphysics reveal warmer climates due to less low cloud fraction and a large amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. It implies that treatments of cloud-related processes lead to a difference between different resolutions in climatic regimes in cases with high obliquities.
